One of the most refreshing aspects of SABRINA is its lack of objectionable material, even though it’s set in the 1990s. Usually “clean” movies are those taking place at least 40 or 50 years ago, like A WALK IN THE CLOUDS or I.Q. Sabrina’s loving relationship with her father is also very uplifting. He adores her and she expresses her love and respect for him several times. A few exclamatory profanities and crudities are spoken, and there is much social drinking throughout. A distraught Sabrina, upset on the eve of her departure for Paris, is shown drinking sherry out of a bottle. Violence is limited to David injuring himself when he sits down, forgetting he has two champagne glasses in his back pocket. Another time David socks Linus in the jaw. Sabrina has a brief romance while she is in Paris, but she refuses to have sex with the young man. Although David is a womanizer who no doubt has had many lovers, there are no on-screen sex scenes. SABRINA rates high marks overall for its wholesome treatment of love in the 90s.
